100%. facilities and donor base for NIL is there. they are 2 years removed from a Natty and they have an uber-talented #1 overall recruit true freshman QB about to go into his sophomore season, very young talented OL pieces, stacked RB room, and a breakout true frosh WR about to go into his soph season.

that's a pretty damn desirable job imo. if you're a QB whisperer coach and you believe in Underwood's raw talent and that you can develop him- all you gotta do is add a WR or two in the porthole and develop the QB you're going to be cooking with grease in 2026.
That's why I think Dillingham should be the first call.

He's at his alma mater, but the gap between getting a Big Ten/SEC job, and a Big XII/ACC job is huge, and you are talking a top 3 Big Ten job.

Do they care? 
why the fuck should they care? Minter was never proven to have been involved at all in the Stallions saga. that's not what he was given a show cause for genius. at least get your facts right if you're going to continue to whine about that. Minter was given a meaningless one year show cause for recruiting violations- something completely unrelated to Stallions. 
 
Jesse Minter would be a PHENOMENAL fucking hire. The guy is a genius level DC and has future superstar HC written all over him. He was the guy who should've been promoted to coach but Jeem ain't no dummy- he knew what the fuck he was doing leaving Moore behind to be the fall guy and taking Jesse Minter with him to the NFL. If Moore was so great why didn't Jeem take him to the NFL like he did damn near every other coach in his staff? 

It's a moot point anyway because Jesse Minter is going to be one of the hottest names in the 2026 NFL head coaching carousel. Minter will have his pick of the litter for NFL jobs in 2026- he won't even consider the Michigan job or any college job for that matter.

Dillingham would be a great choice. he would definitely maximize and develop Underwood's talents imo.

Klatt thinks it's either Lea, Elko, or Dillingham for Michigan.  Of the three I like Elko the best.  Thinking Ann Arbor wouldn't be a hard sell compared to College Station for an Ivy league guy.
Dillingham and Elko make a ton of sense. Elko knows the region broadly speaking and his style fits the "Michigan football Brand" really well. He's also the hottest new coach (until the CFP). He'd be really expensive but I feel pretty confident that Michigan can afford the price, but it will be in the Smart/Day pay range and that is a massive number.

my personal wish list...in no order....

call Saban and Urban - they will both say no, but just make them say it to you. only sure thing hires there are in the sport.

Jesse Minter
Jeff Brohm
Kenny Dillingham
Joe Brady
Marcus Freeman
Mike Elko
Clark Lea
Jason Eck
Jedd Fisch

on the fence about Kalen DaBoer. love the offense he will bring, but highly worried about toughness and defense with him.

edit: call #1 would be to Curt Cigarette and throw $180 million at him and make him say no.

Simmer down jackass, the adults are talking here.  

Your "point" that Minter was involved in a DIFFERENT scandal (other than Scallions) actually makes the point that @CatsbyAZ , @847badgerfan , and I were making even stronger.  It is irrelevant which scandal Minter was specifically tagged with.  The underlying fact remains that he was a part of a scandal plagued coaching administration.  

Bottom line, Hairball's administration oversaw (and these are just the big ones):
  • The COVID Dead period recruiting scandal
  • The Sign stealing cheating scandal
  • The hacking computers to steal naked pictures of coed athletes scandal
  • The banging (and apparently impregnating) a young staffer scandal


EVERYONE outside the Michigan Bubble sees this as terrible conduct.  All of us are thankful that our school didn't do these things.  All of us would be embarrassed if our school did these things.  

As @CatsbyAZ said, it would be shockingly shameless for them to then hire a guy tied into the previous regime's litany of scandals.

Then why are you at odd with EVERYONE?  Your dirtbag program is the problem.  The fact that you personally are a dirtbag is the problem.  I consider it an honor for you to call me names because I would NEVER want to be respected by a piece of trash like you.

Apparently former Illinois QB Nathan Scheelhaase is a big time up and comer, but might be fully NFL at this point.

He's been the Rams' passing game coordinator for the past 2 seasons.

Granted he left being the Iowa State OC to do that
